Embarrassing we signed Jake Bean over this guy.
Kind of more embarrassing for Oliver who declined the contract we offered Bean, probably even a few dollars more on the table.
This will either be a really good contract for Oliver, or one that ends his tenure in the NHL.
The good:
He carves out a #5 role with the Avs, plays 75+ games, gets deep in the playoffs, shows well, gets a big contract from someone next year 4+ years, 4+ M.
The bad:
Plays like Oliver Kylington outside of a 73 games he played with Chris Tanev 3 years ago. Has a hard time finding a spot in the Avs lineup. Especially post deadline when they push their chips in. Gets only 30-some odd games. Finds himself playing overseas if at all next year.
